Toyota Innova Hycross Dominates Strong Hybrid Sales In Q2 2023

• The Toyota Innova Hycross was the highest selling strong hybrid vehicle in Q2 2023.

• It accounted for nearly 50 percent of the total strong hybrid sales in that period.

• The Maruti Grand Vitara came in second, while the Toyota Hyryder came in third.

• The Toyota Innova Hycross currently has a 10- to 12-month waiting period in most cities.

If there was ever any doubt whether the new Toyota Innova Hycross will be showered with flowers and welcomed with open arms the same way its previous generations were, those suspicions have now been put to rest. The sales numbers for the second quarter of FY 2023 are out, and the Innova Hycross triumphed in the strong hybrid section, beating the Maruti Grand Vitara, Hyryder and Honda City.

With 7,073 units sold and a market share of 49 percent, sales of the Toyota Innova Hycross were nearly double that of the next best thing, the Maruti Grand Vitara. The Maruti managed 3,763 sales, garnering a share of 26 percent in the process, while another Toyota, this time the Hyryder, grabbed the third spot with a 16 percent share.

The Toyota MPV is so popular that if you go and put your name down for one today, in most cities you’ll have to wait almost a year to take delivery! We reckon the next financial quarter’s results will also see its rebadged version, the Maruti Invicto, take up a spot in the listings. We’ve done a comparison between the two, jotting down their similarities and dissimilarities, and you can read all about it here.
